Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

The color is darker than night, and the movement is slow, like a huge cloud of smoke, clinging to the tree trunks and spreading silently.

The monster above stood still. Nanke hugged the little girl tightly and held his breath.

Can't see the eyes, but feel the gaze.

His heavy and sticky eyes were locked on the little girl. Because of Nanke's movements, he slowly moved to her, and then turned to the skirmisher.

The monster wanted to come over, but was afraid.

The skirmisher had begun to gather thunder elements in his hands, and the purple flash illuminated his cruel eyes, a silent threat.

After a long stalemate, the monster finally retreated slowly, and then paused. A twisted human face poked out from the smoke, with a pair of blood-red cracked lips opening and closing slightly, looking around.

"Ah...child..."

The sigh was so light and slow that it was difficult to tell whether it was a sigh of love or a sigh of resentment and hatred.

As if responding to its call, a big sword broke through the air with the strong wind, instantly piercing the monster's body and nailing it to the tree!

"what--!!!"

The monster roared in pain, and the owner of the big sword took a step late, shouted angrily, grabbed the weapon and slashed downwards. The monster broke free regardless of its body being torn in two, and turned into an afterimage and fled deeper into the forest.

Everything happened in just a blink of an eye. Before the stinky rain of blood splashed down from above hit the ground, it was blown away by the strong wind rising from the ground. Then Mitsuyo's voice sounded: "Doki! Stop chasing!"

The skirmisher shook off the elemental power in his hands and said unhappily: "It's you again."

"Is this my line?" Mitsuyo landed, saw Nanke next to him, and immediately rushed towards him with a smile on his face, "Hi! Wife, we meet again!"

Following him to the ground was Dao Qi, who was holding a blood-stained sword.

"Mitsuyo," there was one crying in his arms and one smiling on his shoulders. Nanke, one with two heads, pushed her away, "What a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence at all," Mitsuyo pointed to the tearful little girl, "Didn't I mention to you before that we are searching for lost children? It's her."

The little girl disappeared on her way to visit Narukami Taisha Shrine with her family.

Mitsuyo wanted to take her away, but the little girl grabbed Nanke's shoulders and refused to let go: "Oh, you monster! I don't want to go with the monster!"

Mitsuyo covered his heart in sadness: "Gu, a critical hit!"

"If you don't mind, I can take her near the shrine." Nanke wiped away the little girl's tears with her sleeves.

"Shenzi has been at the castle tower these past few months. I originally planned to take her back to Tengujin..." Mitsuyo was troubled for a second, then suddenly clenched his fist with one hand and pounded his palm, "Hey! This doesn't mean that my wife is destined to come back with me. Are you home yet?"

Nanke looked at the little girl and then at the skirmisher.

The skirmisher leaned against the tree trunk, expressionless.

"If the country collapses, you go outside the forest first, and I will send this child to you?" Nanke suggested.

"Will you let her go?" He glanced at Mitsuyo.

Mitsuyo put his hands on his hips: "Are you kidding me, I will let my wife fly away after entering my lair?"

Nanke: "That..."

Your tengu will be an endangered species in 500 years. Doesn’t gender really need to be restricted?

"Then I have no choice but to accompany you." The soldier sneered.

Nanke and the little girl sat on one shoulder of Dao Qi, followed closely by the skirmishers, walking through the forest with Mitsuyo who was leading the way in the air.

Dao Qi's running pace was very steady, and Nan Ke quickly adapted to it. He observed the broken corner of his forehead for a while without any trace, and then found that he was breathing harder and harder.

Because the light generation in the sky is flying faster and faster.

I don’t know who I am trying to embarrass.

"Master!" Dao Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.

Mitsuyo hovered in the air in a small circle: "Don't you want to learn the martial arts of Tengu? You can't keep up with it at this level?"

After saying that, he glanced at the blushing and out of breath straggler next to him, hummed and flew away again.

Dao Qi sighed: "It's so harsh..."

No, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with severity.

"Mr. Dao Qi," Nanke patted his arm, "How about I go down and join Guobeng."

"This young man?" Dao Qi hesitated.

He couldn't help but hesitate. Compared with his size, the skirmisher was too petite and didn't look like he could carry heavy weight.

"Is it okay?" Nanke turned around and asked.

The skirmisher crossed Dao Qi with ease and stretched out his hand: "Come down."

Nanke jumped down without hesitation and was caught firmly.

"This... young hero?" Dao Qi was amazed and asked, "With such extraordinary physical ability, is he also a demon?"

The skirmisher ignored him, hugged Nanke and pressed the back of her head to the side of her neck: "It's in the way."

"You blame me for being tall?" Nanke put his arm on his shoulder and shook his calf.

The skirmisher didn't even say anything to her.

Nanke waited for a few seconds and raised his eyes in confusion.

Dao Qi had already thrown them away for several meters. The skirmisher looked straight ahead with a complicated expression: "Don't you want to leave?"

He asked softly and without any beginning or end. Nanke suspected that he had heard wrongly: "What did you say?"

"I said -" He took a slight breath and returned to his nonchalant expression, "Aren't you afraid that I will take you away halfway?"

Nanke raised his head and glanced at the scared little girl sitting on Dao Qi's shoulder, then leaned back on the straggler's shoulder: "Can I stop you?"

"No."

"Then you can leave if you want," she curled her lips, "anyway, the child has already boarded the pirate ship."

The skirmishers were rarely speechless and looked sideways.

Nanke tilted his head, leaned against him, and looked at him.

Probably it was too dark in the depths of the forest, but her eyes were incredibly bright and her smile was crooked.

The skirmisher's internal organs suddenly spasmed.

Before he had time to think about what was wrong with his body, firelight came into view.

In the clearing in the forest ahead stood a solitary torii, made of red-painted wood, surrounded by complex formation stones, and two bonfires were burning without wood.

"This is my home," Mitsuyo landed, turned around and said with a smile, "Wife...huh? Where is my wife who is so old?"

"Where did you lose my wife!" Mitsuyo looked ferocious and shook his shoulders wildly.

Seeing that the little girl on Dao Qi's shoulder was so frightened that she was about to jump out of the car, Nan Ke wanted to get off the ground, but the skirmishers refused to let him go.

"Hey, is the country collapsing?" She was a little embarrassed.

He just hugged her and walked over with a smile on his face: "Is the Tengu's residence so shabby?"

Mitsuyo's eyes passed over his hands holding Nanke's shoulders and legs. He narrowed his eyes slightly and his pupils became more narrow.

Nanke patted the skirmisher's hat.

He finally let go.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Nanke immediately left the battlefield and went to Dao Qi.

The two people who looked like they were going to fight a second ago snorted at each other and looked away.

Dao Qi sighed and shook his head.
